Pharmacy repackaging systems involve the equipment and processes used to repackage medications from bulk containers into smaller, patient-specific containers. These systems are designed to ensure accurate dosing, improve medication management, and enhance patient safety.
The primary types of pharmacy repackaging systems include blister card packaging systems, pouch packaging automation systems, liquid medication packaging systems, and bottle filling automation systems. Blister card packaging systems specifically involve machinery and processes that create blister packs, with individual doses of medication separated into compartments. This system includes various dosage types, such as unit dose packaging and multiple unit packaging, and is used by retail or community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, long-term care (LTC) pharmacies, and mail-order pharmacies.
Tariffs are impacting the pharmacy repackaging systems market by increasing costs of imported packaging machinery, sensors, control systems, stainless steel components, and sealing technologies. Hospital and retail pharmacies in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported automation equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for exporting repackaging machinery. These tariffs are raising capital investment requirements and slowing system upgrades. However, they are also encouraging domestic equipment manufacturing, regional supplier partnerships, and innovation in modular and cost-efficient pharmacy repackaging solutions.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the pharmacy repackaging systems market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term medical conditions that are typically progressive and persistent, often lasting a year or more, and requiring ongoing medical care or limiting daily activities. The rise in chronic diseases is largely attributed to factors such as an aging population, lifestyle changes like poor diet and physical inactivity, increasing urbanization, and related environmental influences. Pharmacy repackaging systems play a crucial role in managing chronic diseases by enabling accurate medication dispensing, improving patient adherence, and enhancing safety through efficient packaging of patient-specific doses. For example, in June 2025, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based organization, 1.8 million avoidable deaths occur each year in the European Region due to chronic noncommunicable diseases. Therefore, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the expansion of the pharmacy repackaging systems market.
